Ingredients

  • 1 tablespoon salt
  • 1 tablespoon black pepper
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 4 cloves garlic minced
  • 2 sprigs fresh rosemary (optional)
All

Method
 

  1. Preheat your oven to 275°F (135°C).
  2. Score the skin of the pork belly with a sharp knife, making shallow cuts about 1 inch apart. This will help the skin crisp up during roasting.
  3. Rub the pork belly with salt, black pepper, and olive oil, making sure to coat it evenly. You can also add minced garlic for extra flavor.
  4. If desired, place a few sprigs of fresh rosemary on top of the pork belly for added aroma.
  5. Place the pork belly on a rack or in a roasting pan, skin side up.
  6. Roast the pork belly in the preheated oven for approximately 3-4 hours, or until the internal temperature reaches 195°F (90°C). This slow cooking process will ensure the meat is tender and the skin is crispy.
  7. Once cooked, remove the pork belly from the oven and let it rest for about 10 minutes before slicing.
